Former President Donald Trump picked up his seventh Senate endorsement on April 13, with Sen. Ted Budd (R-N.C.) backing Trump’s third bid for the White House in 2024.

“Just a few years ago America was strong, but now under Joe Biden, we are a nation in decline,” Budd said in a statement. “Our economy is faltering, our wide-open southern border is tragically wrecking lives, and our country’s power and influence in the world is diminished.”
